SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We are not surprised to find that in certain quarters a very strong anxiety should be felt to throw discre dit on the documents which have lately appeared in Th.e Portfolio. At first they were stigmatised as downright forgeries, though executed, it was admitted,. with very considerable literary' s kill. Their author ship was ascribed to a certain German, who had been formerly in the Polish service of Russia. These broad assertions haying found no credit—having indeed, been refuted by the evidence of authenticity contained in the itocuments themselves, another story is now set up--viz., that the said German, one fine morning, de camped from Warsaw with copies of several important :State Papers, to which he had obtained access ; that due notice of his flight was given by the Russian au thorities to the other Governments ; that he was in consequence arrested by the Prussian authorities, on the borders of Hanover ; and that not only the copies of the State Papers in question, but every other docu ment in his possession, were seized and, forwarded to St. Petersburg. The adventurer, it is added, arrived at Paris without a single scrap of paper, but, being -gifted with an exceedingly good memory, and being in troduced to a literary individual of very lively talents, in that metropolis, the contents of the Portfolio in due time appeared. We confess that when this publica tion commenced its career, we were not disposed to treat it with much respect. In the first place, sup posing the documents to be genuine, their very appear ance implied somewhere a breach of official confidence, of the most criminal. description. Secondly, we ob served, that neither the editor nor the publisher gave any distinct pledge for their authenticity, but referred the reader for satisfaction on that point to the papers' themselves. Accepting that reference, we perused each successive. - number with great care, :an4l we found' that the "copies of dispatches which they presented tallied so exactly with dates and circumstances of which we had a perfect recollec tion, that we came to the conclusion, that such, at least, of those papers as we have copied and commented upon, were genuine in every respect. Had any doubt still remained' upon the subject, it would have been re moved by the contrivances which have been resorted to, in order to create a contrary impression. It will be remembered that the dispatches of Prince Lieven and the Count Pozzo di Borgo were addressed to the Im perial Cabinet at St. Petersburg. Now, the . story is, that copies of these dispatches were stolen from War saw. We should like to see some explanation of the circumstances which induced the Imperial Cabinet at St. Petersburg to communicate to the Viceregal Go vernment in Poland copies of important dispatches, full of peculiarly delicate matter, which dispatches had no thing whatever to do with the affairs of the latter country. It May be true that a German in the Polish service did abstract from its secret archives several papers that he was afterwards arrested, deprived-of every scrap of writing in his possession, and that he afterwards at tempted, with the assistance of a literateur, to compose copies the.rn :tom his memory. All this may be correctly stated, and yet it may have no connection with the documents hitherto, at least, disclosed in the Portfolio. We shall only add, that in the diplomatic circle the copies of dispatches which we have extracted from that work are believed to be undoubtedly genuine. One distinguished member of that body finds it ne cessary, of course, to hold a different language ; yet even that astute personage admits that they are founded upon the recollection of some one who had seen the compositions.—Morning Chronicle. To quell a faction which has been so many years dominant in Ireland as the Orange Society, and of which the leaders hold the principal share of local pa tronage, and wield the chief strength of subordinate authority in the country, while their agents arc distri- Imted most effectively through every department of pub lic life—is a hold and difficult undertaking. It wonid . be so in any condition of parties, and notwithstanding the concurrence of the ,most pliant Legislature that ever wheeled. or marched at the word of command. But with so powerful a minority in one House of Par liament, thwarting every measure that is proposed for the peace of Ireland ; and against the all but unan:- mons—sensc, shall wc call it ?—of tile other House, which . upholds and instißes every act of factious re sistance, and every indication of factious contempt, for the King's Government—no Administration, but one invincible- in honesty, and in the confidence of the people, could hope to effect such an object. No servant of the Crown, unless he were endued with the highest courage, and an almost chivalrous sense of duty, would attempt it. Yet it will be effected. It has been, and continues to be attempted, and there needs only an inflexible adherence to the rule laid down by Lord ildulgrave, of exacting from the known or zuspected Inein!)ers of the faction an abjuration of its lawiess and n: schievous supremacy, before 1w will am it them to any post of trust or power of which he can contra! the appointment. It needs but this, we say, to despoil that &sing confederacy of its Corin thian capitals, -and make orangeism the same. as. Ribbonism—the exclusive badge of the ignoble and the base. If the Lord Lieutenant had the power, or if it were consistent with prudence, in the present posture of afrairs, to carry , his purifying prin ciple into the interior of the temple, and sweep out whatsoever he should find there openly at war with the ascendancy of thclaws, or practising underhand against their spit, the reformation he is woriiz out would be more rapid and decisive. But the standwhich he has taken at the door, to repel further intrusion, has a strong effect. It has struck a panic amongstthorle who are without, by which even the gentlefolk, who are comfortably entrenched have been.wholesomely affected. We infer this from their silence on two or three late occasions. For it is a sign of grace when such magnificoes store up their wrath ; like that of an tient Pistol, for future opportunities, and " eat the leek in earnest of revenge." They hare been known, on less provocation, to brawl and cry out against O'Connell's dictation. But the subject grows too serious for jeers of that sort, when they see some of the tallest poppies of their garden cast aside without any ceremony or circumstance at all. They well know, and knew all along, that Lord - , Mnlgrave wants no prompter to point out tne path of his duty. But they have only lately found out the futility of their endeavours to scare him out of it, fly imputations which, however they may serve to capti vate the great and little vulgar, are of no power to turn a man of firm nerve and high principle from his purpose. They have, therefore, abandoned that tack, and brood over their wound in silence. More than one of the Orange Proccres have been rejected from offices to which they had been nominated : and yet no outcry has been raised, as in the case of Mr. Deane. On the contrary, the facts have been studiously con cealed from the public and from their own party, whom they truly consider to be disheartened enough already. These cautious indications, where so lately all was swagger and braggadocio, betoken fear ; and fear, in such minds, is the beginning of repentance.—Morn ing Chronicle. The appointments of Equity Judges are now settled, ,by virtue of which Sir C. PEPYS becomes Lord- Chancellor of England, entitling him to a pension of .5,0001. per annum after two or three months' —nay, or one month's—service, should the O'Connell Mini stry endure so long ; Mr. Bickerstcth succeeding as Master of the Rolls, with a salary of 8,0001. a-year for life, and retaining his eligibility to a seat in the House of Commons. To us it would appear unques tionably that, in a mere worldly point of view and, more than that, in a political sense also, Mr. Bicker steth's is the better bargain. It is not for us to make captious objections against either of the two sound and able lawyers thus promoted, with reference to their capacity to execute the duties which have now respec tively. devolved upon them ; on the contrary, we ac knowledge them both to be gentlemen in the first line of their profession, and peculiarly'' well acquainted with the business of equity Courts. The objection which the country will make to this arrangement is one which the Ministers ought have foreseen ' • and we can not but impute their apparent blindness to a degree either of impudence or stupidity as regards their own position, beyond, if it were possible, that for which they had ever before obtained credit. The Ministers must know (for who is ignorant ?) that their tenure of office, according to all human calculation, is not worth six weeks' purchase. They have long had before their eyes the fact that four ex-Chancellors, English and Irish, are simultaneously receiving pensions from the Exchequer—to wit, Lords Eldon, Lyndhurst, and Brougham for this country ; and for Ireland, Sir Ea- - ward Sugden. The effect, therefore, of this new no mination will be the addition of a fifth ex-Chancellor within a period—Heaven knows how short —making a gross judicial dead weight for the one Court of Chancery on both sides of the Channel, and for the single situation of Lord Chancellor, of 24,0001. a-year. As for a separation of the political from the purely judicial office, and an opening on that side for Lord Brougham, the thing is out of the question. His Lordship may " throw his wig at it ;" no such pro posal will be carried through Parliament ; and for sufficient reasons why it ought not to be carried, we refer to the recent publication of Sir Edward Sugden. An attempt, by dividing the jurisdictions, to brave in the person of a Cabinet Minister, and of a holyday parade lawyer on the woolsack, an incompetent judge of appeal becoming, by his want of intercourse with the courts in Westminster Hall, and with their pro ceedings, hourly more incompetent, may serve, perhaps, as a temporary bait for the jaws of a certain restless and mortified personage to play with, but the Learned Lord may depend upon it ,that he is shelved irre trievably. In the tempestuous weather of these revo lutionary times, as his • quondam colleagues are well aware, he would swamp the most buoyant Cabinet that ever floated. In stating, as we have here done, that Sir C. Pepys and Mr. Bickersteth are the new Chancery appointments, we have merely repeated the announcement of the Ministerial journals, but our own belief is, that Sir John Campbell, and not Mr. Bickersteth, is the new Master of the Rolls. It is true that a different arrangement was contemplated, and that the Attorney-General was to be flattered and cajoled by magnificent panegyrics of his dis interestedness into a surrender of his fair pre tensions to promotion. But • Sir John Campbell is too good a Scot not to prefer "solid pudding" to " empty praise ;" and he determined on exhibit ing a specimen of his disinterestedness.which the Mi nisters had not contemplated, but which he had the sagacity to see would at once alarm them into a more practical appreciation of his merits than the one which had occurred to their imagination : he therefore sent in his resitation ! Oh I -) what a clutter and clatter throughout Downing-street and all its adjacencies— Lord Melbourne was startled out of his easy chair, and uttered a ‘,‘ pious" ejaculation. Mr. Spring Rice overthrew the ink-bottle on the neat manuscript of his embryo budget ; Lord Palmerston looked as aghast as when he hears of a newly-imported epigram of M. de Talleyrand ; Lord Glenelg slept on indeed, but dreamed that the whole colony of Mauritius was rav ing round his bed ; and Lord John Russell fainted as he fancied he saw the Learned Member for Edinburgh denouncing, instead of supporting, his " constitu tional" projects for separating Church and State. The agony was too intense to last ; it could not be borne ; one and all—Lord Glenclg, though in sleep, joining the chorus—shouted out " He must not resign—make him Master of the Rolls ;" and Sir John Campbell is Master of the Rolls accordingly. How Mr. Bicker steth is to be appeased we have not heard ; but we suppose the honour of serving - under Sir Robert Rolfe will hardly console him for the loss of the high and valuable appointment of Master of the Rolls.—Time,:. The icports which had been prevalent since the opening of Term in Westminster Hall, respecting the appointment of a Chief Judge in Equity, assumed more of certainty yesterday than heretofore, and all agreed in designating' Sir C. Pepys, the present Master of the Rolls, to the high office of Lord Chancellor. Opinion was divided, however, with re gard to his intended successor at the Rolls, some stating that Sir John Campbell, others that Mi. Bickersteth, • was appointed to that office. But we presume all doubt on the matter:is set at rest by the announcement made in the Evening Ministerial Papers last night, that - Sir John Campbell - is doomed a second tune to content himself with the responsible, but pre- I carious post of Attorney-General, while a more fortu nate- rival for the honours of the profession mounts over his head to the Bench of the Rolls Court, which many lawyers consider, and not without reason, to be the most eligible piece of legal preferment under the We remarked the other clay upon the impro priety of the practice of appointing Common Law lawyers to preside over Courts of . Equity, which imposes upon the Judges of those Courts the necessity of becoming learners when they ought to be teachers—of appearing as pupils in a branch of legal science, of which they ought to be masters—an av?,:ward and unseemly posi tion for a Judge, not calculated to exalt the dignity of the Bench, or inspire respect and confidence to the public anti the profession. Were the Chief Judge ship of a Court of Common Law vacant, we should have thought it as improper in the Government to have appointed Sir C. Pepys or Mr. Bickersteth to it, in preference to Sir J. Campbell, as to have pre ferred the latter to either of the -former gentlemen for the Chief Judgeship of a Court of Equity. Another zeport in Westminster Hall yesterday was that the Attorney-General had intimatedhis intention to resign, and that tlle threat of resignation had produced its cfrect, and obtained him the Mastership of the Rolls ; but. if the :Ministerial papers be correctly informed of what has been determined upon at heed-quarters touch ire,a- these appointments, that report was groundless— at least the latter part of it. In alluding to the in tended appointments the other day, we said that the Ministers would not find it an easy matter to sup ply- the place of Sir John Campbell from the Whig-Radical portion of the Bar, and that his very ffficieacy in his present position might be an obsta cle to his promotion at present. If, indeed, the At torney-General lias been passed over, as seems to he the case, it is probable that this is the reason and no other, for we cannot give the Government that con trived the Chancery Commission-job to avert the hos tility of Lord Brougham the credit of caring more for the interests of the suitors in Equity than for the suc cess of their own political schemes. \ The report which stated that Sir John Campbell had resigned, or threatened to resign, nominated Mr. Sergeant Wilde as his intended successor, for no one thought it likely that the present Solicitor-General would accept the office, when the almost certain consequence must be the loss of hiS seat in Parliament, which everybody knows, he secured by merely a measuring cast majority" at the last election. We do not think it at all probable that Sir John Campbell would resign his present office while his party are in power, unless for something better, and, therefore, we are not under the necessity of making any comment upon the reported promotion of Mr. Sergeant Wilde. It is not yet mentioned who is to be Speaker of the House of Lords, in the event of the Bill being carried for separating the political from the judicial functions of Lord Chancellor. Perhaps the office may be intended for Lord Brougham, but at present this is mere conjecture.—Morning Herald. From long and. close observation we have acquired a tolerably accurate knowledge of the instincts of Ra dicalism and Whiggery ; and by relying on the ulti mate ascendancy of these, we. can generally predict with considerable confidence what will be the issue of any dispute, or difference of opinion, which may hap pen to arise in such a Cabinet as the present. Thus, upon the question of the appointment of a Lord Chan cellor, no longer than two days ago, when the organs of the party were busily engaged in proclaiming and enforcing the discordant views of a distracted Cabinet, we ventured to anticipate not only that peace would speedily be restored, but that it would be restored by such means and in such a manner as involved the greatest possible gain to the faction in power, and the greatest possible loss to the country. Our expression, we recollect, was, that, job i against job, the double job against the s ingle o ne , the odds were vastly in favour of the former. And we were right, for we learn by the two Ministerial journals of last night that the double job is already perpetrated. The Globe and Courier inform us that the pre sent Master of the Rolls, a learned person, who, in the acute judgment of the Morning Chronicle, " is, perhaps, not eminently qualified for the highest juris diction," will be Lord Chancellor, and Mr. Bicker steth will succeed to the judicial office vacated by this promotion. In applying the term job to these judicial appointments, we would not be understood to speak disrespectfully of the legal acquirements or the per sonal character of either of the fortunate Whig lawyers Crown. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, .TANUARY 14, LS:36 whom they advance. On the contrary, we are ready to admit that Ministers have made choice of the two most respectable equity lawyers whom the slender ranks of their party could supply—an admission which by , no means implies that we gainsay the awful " perhaps" of our worthy Contemporary of the Chronicle. The job consists in this—that, after keeping the Court of Chancery in a state of confusion and inefficiency for eight months, the Melbourne-Whigs have made these appoint ments when they know, and merely because they know, that their lease of office has run out to within less than one-fourth of that period, and when there is, to the clear perception of all the world, a strong probability, to say the least, that the only practical effect resulting from these appointments will be to give the country another retired Lord Chancellor, at an expense of 5,000/. a year, and a new and untried Master of the Rolls, in stead of the present occupant of that office, with whom, upon the whole, the nation was not dissatis fied. It is notorious that for eight months the Mel bourne Ministry has permitted the Court of Chancery to remain in a state much more detrimental to the country than a total and absolute suspension of its functions could have been ? Is it not notorious that this great offence against the nation has been commit ted in mere terror of Lord Brougham's hostility ? Is Lord Brougham propitiated—or, in their despair, have the Melbourne Ministry ceased to fear him ? A few weeks will show to which of these causes the Chancery jobs ought to be ascribed. For the present we adhere to the opinion that they are the natural results of " the ruling passion strong in death."—Morn. Post. The great question which has agitated the Court, the Cabinet, and the country, during the last nine months, namely—who is to be Lord Chancellor ?—has at length, after an almost unparalleled series of negocia tions and deliberations, beem solved, we hope, to the satisfaction of the country. The Master of the Rolls, Sir Christopher Pepys, is to be the Lord High Chan cellor, and Mr. Bickersteth is to succeed Sir Christo pher in the Court in which he has hitherto sat. The professional reputation of these gentlemen is too well known to render.it necessary for us to state how highly they are qualified to discharge the important duties of the Courts to which they have been severally ap pointed. They unite every requisite for fulfilling with honour to themselves and benefit to the country, the duties which now devolve upon them ; and yet in their appointment there is a small spice of wormwood for others, we mean Lord Brougham and Sir John Campbell, which the country will find it difficult to swallow, without a more satisfactory explanation of the matter than has yet been given. - Why, it will be inquired, was not Lord Brougham re-appointed to the office of Lord High Chancellor, seeing that after all endeavours to the contrary it was found necessary to appoint one ? Why, also, it will be asked, Lord Brougham being rejected, or declared unfit, or being disagreeable to the King—was not Sir John Campbell preferred to his more successful rivals ? Of the emi nent services rendered by both—not only in their legal, but their political capacity—no one who has witnessed their patriotic carecr, can entertain the slightest doubt. The one is not only the first man of his age and generation, but has been instant in season and out of season in advocating and supporting legal and Consti tutional Reform, in a manner and with a power of persuasion unequalled in this or in any other country • while the latter has not only signalized himself in his profession as one of the soundest lawyers at the bar, but may be set down as one of the ablest and most consistent Reformers of the present day. The men who hare been appointed are sound and excellent lawyer. * perfectly adequate to the discharg e o f the duties which devolve upon them ; but they are mere lawyers, each moving within his respective circle, and incapable, so far as the past is proof, of moving beyond it. The two others are not less capa ble of the functions which the former will have to dis charge, and have besides signalised themselves in other capacities not less beneficial to the people. The cause of their failure, however, is not to be traced, we be- Flew, to the prevalence of any unworthy motive on the part of the Mellmininc Administration in the prefer ence which has been shown ; but to their desire, on the one hand, to retain Sir John Campbell in the House of Commons comparatively unshackled from other duties eand, on the other, by he appointment of Mr. Bickersteth, to pave the way for the separation of the judicial and political duties of the Lord Chan , eellor, and the ultimate appointment of Lord Brougham as the political Chancellor. Sir John Campbell has at once reason to be proud and to be grieved. Lord Brougham cares too little for office and its patronage and emoluments, to remonstrate against any proceed ing which Lord Melbourne deems necessary for the maintenance and successful progress of the cause of Refo r .—Moening Advertiser. KING'S BENCH-WEDNESDAY. castle of Corfe, by which the whole island of Pur beck was found to be warren of the King, and a variety of privileges to be attached to it ; also letters patent of the date of the 14th January, 32d Henry VIII., grant ing and giving to his Queen Consort Catherine the three hundreds which at that time contained the whole island, with all its privileges, as fully and amply as he would have held them himself. Letters patent were also produced, dated in the 18th and 27th of Elizabeth, granting the Caitle and Lordship of Corfe to the same person with its privileges more amply detailed. Amongst other things these privi leges included chase and free warren, the appointment of constable to the castle of Corfe, the prisage of all vessels laden with wine, anchoring near the island, wrecks of the sea, all Royal fish and falcons, the authority of Admirals within the manor, castle, and lordship of Corfe and the precincts of the same, as well by water as by land, and upon the high sea flowing to and adjoining the island, and all ports, rivers, creeks, and arms of the sea, being within the island, so that no Admiral of England should enter within the precincts of the said island to do or execute anything there which did or might belong to the office of Admiralty. Dr. ADDAMS appeared on behalf of Mr. Banks, and urged at considerable length the decisions in the Court of Exchequer as conclusive against the Crown itself. The KING'S ADVOCATE and Dr. PHILLIMORE will be heard on the other side next Court day. INSOLVENT COURT-WEDNESDAY. THE SLAVE TRADE.--IN THE MATTER OF MARY ANN PORTLESS. In this matter a rule - il4been obtained a short time ago, calling on the insolvent, who was discharged hi Sep tember, 1834, to attend the Court for the purpose of being further examined touching her estate and effects, or to show cause to the contrary. The application was made on the part of the assignees, two creditors, named Bolton and Underwood, who claimed, from the Commissioner in her right, the value of nine negro slaves domiciled in the island of Demerara, under the Act abolishing slavery in the colonies. Mr. Woodroffe, on the part of the assignees, moved to make the rule absolute, and Mr. Cooke showed cause. Mr. Cooke contended that the rule must be dismissed. The COMMISSIONERS, after mutual consideration, granted a rule nisi for a re-bearing. STCCKDALE V. CHAPMAN, ESQ. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS stated that this was an action against the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, for an alleged fale(limprisonment of the plaintiff. The cause was tried before Lord Denman, at the sittings after the last Term, when it appeared that the plaintiff had been con fined in that prison on a judgment pronounced against him this Court. His term of imprisonment was about to expire, - when he applied to know the time at which he should be eniitled to his discharge. He was informed of the time ; but he - was told at the same time that before he was discharged he must pay certain fees. He refused to do so, and the Marshall then caused him to be informed that if he was too poor to pay the fees, and would just make that statement in writin g , he should be set at liberty ; but that it was necessary that he should do so, us the Mar-. shall had no authority on his own responsibility to relieve him from the payment of these fees. For the imprisonment thus occasioned, the plaintiff brought this action. The Jury had given 701. damages ; and the Learned Sergeant now moved to set aside that verdict, and have a new trial on the ground of excessive damages. LorcIDENmAN said there must be a rule on the point of excessive damages. BAIL COURT. LANGFORD V. BARRETT. This case, which appeared to excite considerable inte rest, having been called on, Mr. Justice PATTESON asked whether the Counsel en gaged in the case were ready to go on with it ? Mr. PETERSDORF appeared for the defendant, and said that he was quite prepared to have the case proceeded with. . . Mr. BALL rose, upon which Mr. Justice PATTESON said—For whom do you appear, Mr. Ball ? Mr. BALL—I am instructed, my Lord, to watch the case for Lady Langford.—(Laughter.) Mr. Justice PATTESON—Then "I can't hear you, for Lady Langford is no party to the record. Mr. BALL—The case is of a very peculiar nature, and one in which Lady Langford is seriously interested, and I have been engaged to watch the case for her.—(A laugh.) Mr. Justice PATTESON—Whatever the nature of the case may be, whether it be peculiar or not, you cannot ap pear for Lady Langford, because on the face of the record she is not a party interested in the case. No Counsel having appeared for the plaintiff (Lord Lane.- ford), his agent applied to the Court to postpone the trial on the ground that there were some witnesses of importance who had not yet arrived from Ireland. This was objected to by the defendant's Counsel, and the record was accord rrly withdrawn. ingly COMMON PLEAS.-WEDNESDAY. TARPLEY, CLERK, V. BLABEY. This was an action to recover damages for a libel on the plaintiff, published in the Northampton Free Press news paper. The plaintiff is a Clergyman, residing at Fiore, in Northamptonshire, and the defendant a farmer, residing in the same place. It was proved that the manuscript of the libel in question was in the handwriting of the defendant, and had been sent by him for publication to the Northamp ton Free Press. The cause was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the Middlesex sittings after last Term, when the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages forty shillings. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS moved for a new trial. Rule refused. ADMIRALTY COURT-WEDNESDAY THE KING V. FORTY-NI,NE CASKS OF BRANDY, FOUND DERELICT. In this case there were two claimants for several casks of brandy which were found derelict near Poole, in the county of Dorset, viz: the King, in his office of Admiralty, an d Mr. Wm. John Banks, as sole executor under the will of his late father, Mr. Henry Banks, the Lord of the castle and manor of Corfe. In support of the claim of Mr. Banks were produced a commission issued by Richard 11., in the fourth year of his reign, to inquire what possessions, rights, and privileges did belong to the GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS. TOASTING THE MINISTRY.—A very respectable middle aged man, who gave his name James Davidson, and said that he was a wholesale grocer on Tower-hill, and that his private residence was in Giffin-place, Deptford, was charged with being drunk, and incapable of taking care of himself. Police constable Shaw, of the R division, saw the defen dant reeling to and fro in London-street, Greenwich, at one o'clock in the morning, and, as he appeared to be insensibly drunk, he conveyed him to the station-house, when, upon searching him, he found four 101. Bank of England notes; four 51. notes, six sovereigns and a half, besides some silver and copper, which witness now produced. The defendant, in answer - to the charge, made a very eloquent apology for getting inebriated. • He said the fact was, that he bad been dining with the Mayor of a certain town (the defendant said Dorchester) who bad been recently elected under the Municipal Corporation Bill, at the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, Greenwich, and after the removal of the cloth he had so frequently toasted the health of his Ma jesty's Ministers, and success to the new Corporations, &c., that the wine overcame him. The BENCH asked the defendant if the newly-elected Mayor was also tipsy ? The defendant really could not answer that question ; for in truth he was so intoxicated, that everything appeared double. Mr. Davidson was then fined .ss. for being drunk, which he immediately paid, on his property being restored to him, and presented a sovereign to the soup charity. . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Barnet Cowen, a shopkeeper in Portsoken Ward, was convicted of the offence of having on his premises unjust weights and scales, and was fined 51. He declared most solemnly that the scales were meddled with by a mischievous boy, whom he had dis Charged for bad conduct. The false weight was very neatly managed by tacking a quarter of a pound upon the side, on which it would , tell against the buyer. Isaac Levy, a dealer in the same Ward, was fined 20s. For having weights which were unjust, but not so fraudu lent as Mr. Cowan's. This defendant said the deficiency arose from his inability, in consequence of illness, to clean the weights and scales. LAMBETH-STREET. THE CUSTOM-HOUSE ROBBERY.—APPREHENSION OF ONE OF THE CLERKS, AND HIS EXAMINATION WITH JOURDAN AND SULLlVAN.—Yesterday Mr. William Huey, one of the landing waiters of his Majesty's. Customs, whose friends are of the highest respectability, Was placed within the felon's dock, together with William Jourdan and Thomas Sullivan, - before Messrs.' Hardwick and Norton, and three or four county Magistrates, the former for exa mination, and - the latter for further examination, on a charge of ,being concerned in the late extensive robbery at the Custom-House. Mr. Chambers (in the absence of Mr. Adolphus); Mr. Walford, the Solicitor of Customs ; Mr. 'Fhackery, the As sistant-Solicitor ; and Mr. Hobler, attended for the prose cution. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Humphries appeared for the prisoners Jourdan and Sullivan ; and Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Ellis for Mr. lucy. _ Mr. Benjamin Hornby is clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Grote, Prescott and Co., in Threadneedle-street. In 1831 a receipt account was kept in the house in the name of John Leary, which was subsequently turned into a regular account, and continued there up to the 27th of November in that year, when a check for 4501., the balance then in hand, was drawn and paid by witness in five notes, four of those 'nein.. for 100/. each, and one for 501. The notes now produced were those he paid on that occasion, and the check was that upon which he paid them. The person to whom he paid the money was, to. the best of his belief, the prisoner Jourdan, but - he would not wish to swear positively to the fact. He had an opportunity of seeing him four or five times while he had the account at the house, and on the day be had given him the balance of 450/., he had a particular opportunity of seeing him, as he had to refer to the ledger to ascertain for him what the ba lance was, and he judged of his size in believing he was the man, as well as from his appearance. (It may be here remarked that the signature to the checks produced, of " John Leary," is precisely the same handwriting as the prisoner Jourdan's to many letters and documents which have been found in his. possession.) Mr. Hornby further identified a pass-book produced as that which was kept with the house, and in which the different sums lodged in and drawn from the house were entered. _ Mr. Banks, the senior cashier at Messrs. Grote andCo.'s, had paid three checks drawn on account of Leary, the one for 201., another for 40/., and a third for 501., and he be lieved Jourdan to be that person. This witness, as well as the last, were cross-examined by both Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson, but nbthing particular was elicited. Mr. Walsh, the receiver of fines in the Customs, was here called to prove that the robbery of the Custom House took place on the night of the 27th, or the morning of the ,28tIvor- November, 1834. Mr. Wells, a partner in the firm of Bradbury and Wells, tailors, New Bond-street, deposed that the prisoner Huey had been a customer at his house for somo time past, and h e had received from him two bank notes in payment of an acceptance of his, which was in their hands, and which was over-due before the money was paid. (Two notes were here produced, which the witness identified as those he received from the prisoner Huey.) The following written statement was then put in, and read by Mr. Osman, the Chief Clerk ; ,‘ Mr. Huey, landing waiter, examined Wednesday, 30th of December, 1835, by the Surveyor-General :—ls the sig nature to this 101. Bank of England note now produced to you (No. 9,429, date 13th Dec. 1834), your hand -writing? I think it is, as at that time I was in the habit of gambling, and I recollect I won some money at a gambling-house, No. 1, Leicester-square, and it is very likely I received the notes there. The date to my initials on the front of the note is 25, 1-35. Can you say of whom you received it ?—I won a con siderable sum on that occasion, 70/. or 801., and I received the money from the bank at the gambling-house, and not from any particular individual, unless the cashier for the night. Did you go to the house alone 2-1 cannot say. Have you been there twice ?—But once, I think. On the occasion I spoke of there were, perhaps, forty or fifty per sons present. Were there any persons there whom you knew 2—Either on that or another occasion of my winning money a Captain &mei, in the army, who lived in the same boardincr-house with me, was prese nt, and saw me win. Mr. H uey was asked whether the signatures to the three 10/. notes shown to him were in his hand-writing, and he said they were, and were received on the same oc casion. Mr. Huey said he paid some money to his tailors, Messrs. Bradbury and Wells, about that time, January 1835, and it was very possible that he sent them two of the notes above mentioned in payment of a promissory note which fell due at that time. Did you date the notes as you received them ?—I have a recollection that I did, pen and ink being always at hand at the tables.—CMr. Halford and Mr. Hobler, junior, were present.) Did you know any persons of the name of Jourdan and Sullivan ?—Not personally. I have read of such persons in the newspa pers lately, but I did not attend at the Poiice-office when they were examined. I don't know the name of the persons who keep the house in Leicester-square. I have under stood that several Jews keep it. Having seen tie accounts in the newspapers of the robbery committed in this house, do you know the two prisoners in custody for that offence, viz.—Sullivan and Jourdan, or by other names than those ? —I do ngt. Do you know a person of the name of John Leary ?—I do not, to the best of my recollection. Do you know a female of the name of Mary Jefferies, or Mary Jourdan ?—I do not. Do you know a man called Joe Bevan ?—I do, very well, and for some years. Did you ever cause him to be supplied with clothes ?—I sent him with a note in my handwriting ordering a suit of black for myself, and on that occasion he asked me for an introduc tion to my tailors, and I • told him that he might use my name to Messrs. Bradbury and Wells : and those persons sent to me, and I sent word back that he was a respect able individual, and they might give him credit. Did not Bevan pay some bills for you ?—I don't recollect his paying any bills for me ; but he might have paid an in stalment of 101. for me towards a bill of 801., which I owed to Roger, Tovvgood, and Co., the bankers, and which bill I had been swindled out of by a person of the name of Roach, who undertook to cash it for me. When was it that he might have paid the instalment ?—Very early' in the present year or the latter end of the last. Do you know Bill Davis's house ?—I do not. Do you know a man named Chesterman ?—I do ; he keeps a tavern in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane ; I have dined there twice with Bevan. Do you know a gambling-house in the Strand ?—No, Ido not. Do you know Barney Lepman's house ?—I do not. Do you know Smith's, in the Kent road ?—Yes, I have smoked a cigar there a few times. When were you last at any of these houses ?—Not for these eight months at Chesterman's or Davis's. Did you never meet Sullivan and Jourdan at either of the above mentioned houses in November, 1834, and subsequently ? Not to my knowledge, nor do I recollect hearing of such persons till lately. At Smith's I frequently met a Mr. Yeoll, a nurseryman, and frequently conversed with him on such occasions about flowers, &c. Who have you met belonging to the service at Smith's ?—A Mr. Scale, a landing waiter, and a Mr. Gill, a clerk in the long room. Have you ever met Mr. Mott there ?—I have frequently met him at the Dake of Sussex, at Peckham. Did you hear the name of Sullivan at Peckham ?—Not to my re collection. Were you not at one time at Trinity-square, Borough ?—I lived at Trinity-terrace, near the Square. It was about the beginning of the present year, or latter end of last, where I remained a few months, until I went,to a boarding-house in Southwark-square, from whence I went to Peckham. What is the name of the landlady in Trinity terrace ?—I don't recollect ; I have forgotten. Were you not visited by Jourdan, or Sullivan, or Leary while you were at Trinity-terrace ?—No. Were you not acquainted with Andrew Morrison ?—I know a man called Anderson, who I have since learned is the person lately before the public as Morrison. •I met him at the Duke of Sussex, at Peckham. He lived near the Elephant and Castle. I went once to his house. I think he was known to other persons there by the name of Anderson. I understood he was a jeweller. Did you observe Anderson or Morrison speak to any one in particular at the Duke of Sussex ?—No ; the conversation was general. Mr. Scale knew more of Anderson than I did. We never talked of Custom House matters. Did you ever meet Mr. Mott at the house when Anderson or Mor rison where there ? I have never seen them in private con verse. They lived in the same direction, and they may have walked home together ; but I don't know. " Examined by Messrs. Manning and Worthington. " J. MANNING." Mr. Norton—Do you adopt this, Mr. Manning, as your evidence as to what took place on the examination ? _ Mr. Manning—Most certainly I do. Barnet Lepman, of No, 36, Lisle-street, Leicester-square, was part proprietor of the house, No. 1, Leicester-square, which was a gambling-house. He knew Huey for some time, from meeting him at gambling-houses. He frequented his house, No.- 1, Leicester-square ; and he recollected his having, about seven months ago, won 701. or 801. in one night, but on a night or two subsequently he thought, he lost quite as much. Mr. HARDWICK—Look at these notes (alluding to those which the prisoner said he had won at play, and paid to Mr. Wells), and see if you can recognize them as having passed through your hands ? Lepman—lt is quite impos sible I can say so, as we never mark a note, and as much as 5,0001. or 6,0001. pass through our hands of a night. _ Mr. Folks, a medical student, who lodged at the house of Mrs. Godfree, in Trinity-terrace, Mrs. Godfree, and Miss Godfree, deposed to the fact of the prisoners Jourdan and Sullivan visitin g Huey about the time of the robbery. Sarah Moles, who had lived servant with Huey at Cot tage Gtove, Peckham, saw the prisoner Sullivan at her master's subsequently to the robbery. 1 The prisoners were remanded. IRELAND. TITHE HOMICIDES IN CORK.—How strange it is that this fatal name (Beresford) is connected with almost every thin , ' b in Ireland ; with almost all those shocking incidents whether proceeding from Orange Ascendancy or from prm dial outrage, of which this country has been so long the theatre and the victim. However strong our disgust may have been and continues as to the sentiments of Marcus Beresford, or the odious, and mercenary, and unprincipled declamation of his family against the people on whom they are quartered, and who pay them tribute, we do not mean to implicate any man who bears that name in the offences of that family against the peace and prosperity of Ireland. Of this William Beresford, the Rector of lnniscarr, we know nothing, except that, generally speaking, he is a non resident rector, and that he has been in the habit of re ceiving in .Bath,.Cheltenham, and on the Continent, eleven or twelve hundred a year from the Catholics of this part co the County Cork, for services whieh he did not, and could not render. We further learn that he declined to re could anything from the Church Million Fund, relying upon his rights, and the right arm of Mr. Cox, the tithe-agent. The Rev. Gentleman, in his letter, endeavours, indistinctly, indeed, to implicate the Irish Government in the transac tion, as if Lord Morpeth's letter was not us clear and as legal as words could make them. The broad fact is this, that two lives have been lost in the attempt—not to levy a distress—but to serve a process. The country is described as being in a very excited slate ; and in truth the fact is demonstrated by the military parade of turning out the whole garrison of Fermoy to guard a tithe defaulter of 70 years old to the gaol of Cork.—Dublin Evening Post. THE LAST TITHE SLAUGHTER.—The faction iS as heartless as the most degraded and barbarous of mankind can possibly be. Their organs not only justify, but exult in slaughter. The Standard says that murdering men in a tithe-hunt is merely "cheating the gibbet." The Cork Constitution, published almost on the very spot where the last murder was committed, says that " the laws of nature are violated" in the non-payment of tithes ; but no laws, either of man, of nature, or of God, are violated in the slaughter of the poor recusants. A Dublin paper surpasses, if pos sible, the Constitution in the novel baseness of his expres sion: Must not the face of the man who could pen such a sentiment as the following have long since lost the faculty of blushing ?—" This is She second or third slaughter which has been got up against the meeting of Parliament, in order to produce an outcry, and to persuade the Legislature that tithes can never be collected without bloodshed and mas sacre. I was this infernal policy which produced the mas sacre of Carrackshock, which dyed the plains of Rathcor. mac with blood, which has now immolated two victims in the parish of Inniscarra. The Church of Rome has never been scrupulous of her means."—Dublin Freeman. REFORM REGISTRY.—The Irish People, taught by the activity of their enemies, and following with energy the ex amples of their British Brethren, have come forward at length in a combined and confederated body, from every County in the Kingdom, and from every class of Re formers. The Requisition, which we republish this day, with an addition of two hundred names, comprises, beyond all doubt or question, an array of wealth, respectability, and intelligence, such as no other document of a similar nature, emanating from Ireland, ever exhibited. It contains the names of more than fifty Members of Parliament—of nearly double that number of Deputy-Lieutenants—of all the Lieutenants and Vice-Lieutenants of Counties, who are not Peers—of several hundred Justices of the Peace—of all the Liberal King's Council, and of some of the most distin guished members of the Bar. It comprises also the names many of the first mercantile men iv Cork, Limerick, Wa terford, Belfast, Derry, and Dublin, as well as those of several Gentlemen connected with Ireland by property, who regard her well-being and her peace as essential to the peace and well-being of the Empire.—lbid. TlPPERARY.—Additional names are hourly pouring in to be placed to the requisition calling a meeting of this great county to address Lord Mulgrave. KERRY.—The Hon. Thomas Browne, Vice-Lieutenant of Kerry, has signed the requisition for a county meeting in Tralee, to address Lord Mulgrave. COUNTY MAYO.—His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has appointed Friday next, the 15th inst., for receiving the Address from the county of Mayo, at haf-past two o'clock, at the Viceregal Lodge. The Liberator will receive a public dinner at Tralee on Thursday next, the 14th inst. He will attend a meeting there of the county of Kerry on the following day. • The Connaught provincial dinner to him takes place at Galway - , on Monday the 18th. He is to be entertained at Strad bally by the Queen's county Reformers on the 20th. The grand dinner given him by the city of Dublin, is fixed for Monday the 25th. On the next day (Tuesday), 26th, he sails for England, having been invited to represent the Re formers of Ireland at the great Reform dinner which is to take place at Birmingham on the 28th. A correspondence has taken place relative to the Galiay dinner. The invitation is accepted.—Dublin Register.

Margaret Wassley, widow, living at No. 1„ Cross-street, Clapham, stated that on Thursday last she was called to the deceased's house, and went into the water closet, where she saw the deceased leaning against the wall, with a large wound in his throat, and the blood streaming down upon the floor ; witness had known deceased for about five years ; he was a man of very respectable cha racter, and had been better off. About five weeks ago he lost his wife, to whom he was much attached, and since her death a settled melancholy had fixed upon him. Other evidence was adduCed to prove the insanity of the deceased at intervals, and the Jury returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed himself while in a state of mental de rangement." The extraordinary contrasts between the names of towns, &c. in America, is not a little amusing. In the very same state we find the post towns of Brutus and Buckram, Butterfly and Byron, Ossian and Oyster Ponds ; while among the tributary streams which swell the proud and splendid Susquehannah, we find one designated by the tin poetical name of the Yellow Breeches.

Reformers of Belfast have a majority of 73 upon the Into registry. They registered 35 new votes more than their opponents ; the remaining 38 were re-registries of those who were excluded from the franchise by Mr. Dwyer's house and shop point. The Reformers are colfi dent of success at any new election. To the redoubted Randal Plunkett, the rejected of Drog-• heda and the elected of a Tory committee, an address has been got up congratulating him, among other excellences, on his opposition to the present Government. Thirty gen tlemen have signed this address, and among that number we find the names of nine parsons. the address may be traced bigotry, mental imbecility, and a decline of all that is ener getic and determined, save only the love of plunder, which always is as undying as the constitution of a corporation.— (Dublin) Freeman.
